    Autos on a 12/12 schedule

    Autoflower is a C4 plant and does not require darkness like a photoperiod does, which is a C3 plant. So the more light you give it the more bud you will get. Autos aren't huge yielders in the first place so growing one on 12/12 is pointless, IMO.

    The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

    You need 10 ach. You also don't want too many cfm as it will only pull the odors too quickly through the carbon. See my post above on how to work out mathematically how many cfm you need. More isn't better.

    Best auto strain?

    I just harvested (8 days ago) a Dinafem Bubba Kush auto. So far its my favorite.

    This is a coconut based absorption media that works well. http://www.generalcarbon.com/activated-carbon/gc-4x8sd/

    The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

    There are many odor absorption medias out there. Carbon is just one of them. Potassium permanganate and coconut shell are another two that work just as well, better in some applications. According to General Carbon..coal based G34X8 works best for cannabis odor.

    Do you defoliate?

    Because the leaves around that bud aren't getting the light to feed it. I do a progressive harvest just like picking the ripe apples first and waiting a week or two for the others to ripen.

    Do you defoliate?

    Please explain to me how photosynthesis now takes place in this case? My understanding is leaves photosynthesize and buds don't.

    Do you defoliate?

    It was a long time ago. Now it's strictly Dinafem, Mephisto and HSC. All autos.

    Do you defoliate?

    I tried it on a photo Sour Diesel and a Bubblegum. Both from RQS. It stressed the hell out of both plants and the yield suffered. I am a bit of a klutz though so it could be that..I don't have a strong feeling either way but i do like to help people out when I can. Newbie growers are chronic...

    Do you defoliate?

    Okay..so they grow back...so why take them off in the first place? if they grow back then the plant is probably trying to tell you something..

    I'd say this guy knows a thing or two..

    Do you defoliate?

    So you take off the big leaves so the light hits the buds better? but buds don't photosynthesize,leaves do.

    Light schedule question, 20/4 vs 18/6

    Your question should be why mess around with photos when autos are just as good and you only need 1 room instead of 2? - I can also pull a LB from 4 autos in 75 days and no one...I mean no one could tell they aren't anything but great cannabis? If you're growing small quantities in doors in...

    Dinafem White Widow and Bubba Kush Auto and Timber Lights

    Hmm...now that I look more at the White Widow it seems identical in structure to the Critical plus 2.0 I grew a year or so ago.

    Dinafem White Widow and Bubba Kush Auto and Timber Lights

    So..I went out of town for a week the day the previous picture was taken...and I asked my wife if she could feed them while I was gone, Long story short...she gave full strength nute mix and the White Widow got scorched but the Bubba Kush ate it up like a champ. The BK is now 42" at 6 weeks and...
